HIST 2217: Modern British Columbia (Borys)

When you incorporate another person's thoughts or words into your assignments, it is important to acknowledge their work. We do this by citing. Citations:

• Give the original author the credit they deserve

• Strengthen your assignments, by supporting ideas with research

• Point your reader to the original work, in case they would like to consult it personally

Langara's Department of History, Latin, & Political Science follows the Chicago Manual of Style for citing. There are two parts to a Chicago style citation:

1. The footnote (or endnote) that appears in the body of your assignment;
2. The full bibliography (list of sources) that appears at the end of your assignment.

The guides below provide helpful examples of Chicago style citations for different types of works (e.g. books, e-books, journal articles, websites).
